Amenity details from City of Ottawa open data (Jul 2020).

With permanent boards and lights plus a separate puddle rink, hockey and easy-going skating can happen side by side well after dark. The community centre means you can lace up indoors and find a washroom on site, and there's someone supervising while the neighbourhood volunteers keep the ice going.
